For as long as I can remember I have been interested in taking photographs - even as a young boy I used to photograph the trains I spotted in my home town of Bedford.

I joined the Royal Navy and travelled throughout the West Indies, Central and South America and the United States even sailing up the Potomac into Washington DC taking a camera with me all the way.  The sad part about these journeys is that my snaps have been lost in the mists of time.

The idea of making pictures has been with me all my life - it started wth finger-painting at school then progressed to drawing, collage and right up to the digital pictures I make today.

Interwoven throughout this entire picture making experience has been an all-consuming need to be creative in some form or other.  When I was in the navy I rewrote an instruction manual on how ships were manoeuvred in formation at sea - it must have been the intricate and colourful diagrams that did it for me!

After life on the ocean waves I ventured into Fringe Theatre with the Abacus Theatre Company wich I formed with a couple of friends in London.  We produced stuff like Wagner's Ring Cycle for children at the Institute of Contemporary Art, which went down really well.  In fact Friedling Wagner liked it so much that she invited us to perform in Munich.

I have also spent time in front of the camera making brief appearances in movies such as Royal Flash, Whatever Happened to Charlie Farthing, Thunderball and The Man With the Golden Gun. 

At some stage in my career I fell 20' from a lighting rig and ended up in an office job of sorts when I became Head of Publicity and PR at Brent Walker and was responsible for promoting films like The Stud with Joan Collins and Gone in Sixty Seconds with Toby Hulicki.

I have worked as a lighting technician on commercials and feature films directed by such luminaries as David Bailey and Neal Jordan.  From this vantage point I learned a lot about the art of picture making whether they were moving or still images.  I went on to become a Production Manager and Producer with an OB unit at Shepperton Studios working on productions as varied as Party Political broadcasts to Light Entertainment and just about everything in between.

Inevitably I got involved with CGI production and worked on a music promo for the Pet Shop Boys which we took on tour around the UK in an entertainment simulator.  This proved to be an immense hit and got me really interested in this form of entertainment.

My interest in CGI was so intense that I decided to produce my own film but finding it difficult to raise the finance I sold my collection of guitars and hocked my sparkly purple Camaro and off I went.  The result was a film called Time Gate to Egypt for which I was fortunate to win a couple of International Awards both here in England and the United States.  I then continued to make more CGI films for the Theme Park industry with my films being distributed world wide.

With this knowledge I devised a complete Theme Park experience called 4DEX - The 4th Dimension Exploration Agency.  This is a 30-minute journey through time and space.  I am currently working with multi-award winning Creative Director, John Jolly, on another Theme Park offering - Time Zoo.  This is a mixture of entertainment and education about the demise of the world's living creatures. 

Throughout all of this I still have my camera in hand taking and making pictures for me and my clients whenever I can.
